+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+python3-llvmlite: python3-llvmlite (Lightweight LLVM python binding)
+python3-llvmlite:
+python3-llvmlite: llvmlite is a project originally tailored for Numba's needs, using
+python3-llvmlite: the following approach:
+python3-llvmlite:
+python3-llvmlite: A small C wrapper around the parts of the LLVM C++ API we need that
+python3-llvmlite: are not already exposed by the LLVM C API. A ctypes Python wrapper
+python3-llvmlite: around the C API. A pure Python implementation of the subset of
+python3-llvmlite: the LLVM IR builder that we need for Numba.
